'Boxer Returns But Is Soon Taken' Newspaper Article

Description

A newspaper article about the original "Boxer" statue, which would later become the mascot of Pacific University. Notably, the article says that Boxer had not been "exhibited in public" in the 11 years since 1900. The article provides some details on the history of Boxer, but includes some inaccurate facts. For example: it states that Boxer was first stolen in 1900, but in fact it was stolen in late 1899. This article appears in a scrapbook album compiled by Frances B. Clapp, a 1908 Pacific University graduate.
